You know what absolutely destroys me with my flight anxiety, is how long it takes to get going and take off. Sitting there for 10 or 15 minutes just allows my nerves to build up on top of themselves. If we were able to just get in sit down buckle up and take off it would be much easier to deal with because it wouldn't allow the anxiety build
exactly
Omg yess, the waiting is the worst part.
Omfg same. My last flight was horrible. When we landed we had to sit on the tarmac for 1 hour and it was hot, babies were crying, and it was a full flight. I felt so trapped. Before that, I've never had a fear of flying but now I do. It was such a traumatic experience for me. Ugh.
only if i could teleport
I’m sorry dude. Feel the same.
I used to have panic attacks while flying but I kept getting on the planes. Best way to overcome anxiety is to face your fears and just do it !
After how many flights did the fear disapear? I want to do the same
You said it! The irrational fear of having some type of emergency and being stuck on the plane. It makes no sense but that's the fear that I have. 😢
I wish my fear had to do with takeoff and landing. That is the shortest part of the flight. I am claustrophobic. I dont mind takeoff or landing. I hate being confined. It makes the whole thing feel like torture.
Feel your pain! I have always said on a scale of 1 to 10 I am like an 18 or 20! It takes me doing deep breathing I do my best to sink into the seat. I use my tablet as a distraction and I ALWAYS get an aisle seat! It makes a difference! Music on headphones also helps. Good luck Samantha, hope some of these things help you.
It is a torture indeed
Me also the same problem🥺🥺🥺
This is exactly what I am dealing with for the past 3 years. Have you found anything that worked? I’m on Xanax and I’ve still walked off flights cos of my claustrophobia
Same here. Not afraid of dying but closeness shakes me with unavoidable fear...
I’m a Flight Attendant and I suffer from Panic Disorder, but flying doesn’t give me any Anxiety at all. But I completely understand what it feels like to have Anxiety over something you have no control over. I am prescribed something for it and it is a life saver. It’s not what you take, but it really helps when I suddenly have these Panic Attacks that are either triggered from CPTSD or just randomly. Thanks for helping raise the awareness of Anxiety and hopefully this helps people who suffer from it. I can tell that Steve really helped you stay calm a lot.
Hi, what measures are taken when someone has a severe panic attack on a flight?
@@staceygeez I recommend talking to a psychiatrist or a doctor. I went to my psychiatrist and got the help I needed.
What are you prescribed
May I ask what we’re you prescribed?
The fact that Steve was so resting and when he felt the take off he woke up. And the first thing he thought about and asked was how u we’re doing. That is so sweet
steve-what a solid dude he is, clearly exhausted and woke himself up when you were taking off to make sure you werent alone on takeoff.
He is one solid dude
He made it !! Way to fight your anxiety and take control ! I'm proud !!
Thanks brothaaa
@@TheTravelingClatt so no zanny? I have a flight to take in a couple of days and am freaking out. Please advise I dislike the take off for the sinking feeling
This video gave me ease that it’s possible to overcome this fear. My fear is the same as you... just the feeling of not being in control. Sometimes you just have to accept we’re never really in control.... thank you for this video!
I Love flying, take offs, landings even turbulence but many of my clients struggle whenever they need to fly somewhere. Fear of flying takes away so much adventures we could experience. It’s really worth working on.
In your opinion. Some people love where they live. I’ve traveled all over the world-Europe, Middle East, Asia, Central America. And all it does it make me realize how much better & more exciting Florida is than ANYWHERE. Just getting back from south east Asia after a month and have decided I’m not going anywhere again for a VERY long time. The world is a joke compared to our beautiful, FREE sunshine state! I guess if you are from Kent, England Or Detroit, MI then perhaps what you are saying is true!
you have no idea how relieved i was when you said you also have the fear of the taking off. I was watching all these "get rid of fear of flying" videos and not one person shared the same fear as me. I know this video is old but thank you for making this. I hope you are able to fly with no trouble now. :)
Thanks for this video, I feel better knowing I’m not alone in this. You’re brave for doing this and helping many others. I’ll be flying tomorrow and I’ll be watching this before I leave
I need a Steve😢. What a good guy My 1st trip to Europe in over 15 years is coming up in a month and a half . Ive been trying to learn as many techniques by watching RUclips videos like yours. Thank you
I just accepted the fact that I’m not in control. It worked for me.
Foodie A1C thats exactly what i said about the fear of flying
Best fuckin answer for this situation.
@@daniellenicole164
love flying i just get so excited and carnt wait to board my flight
this works well for everything in life
Wise words.
Amazing, glad to see you overcoming your fear. It's great to see you two together again. Your colab vlogs are the best; you and Steve are a great duo. Absolutely love Barcelona, I've been there 3 times. You are going to have a blast. Wish you had more time in Munich. I had a 10 hr stopover this last year on my way to Hong Kong this past year and got to explore Munich a little bit. Definitely a place I would return to.So excited for what's to come....
So much good good coming!
I'm so glad I came across this video. I TOTALLY get you and understanding the fear. I'm preparing for my Greece this summer and my anxiety is already high. Thank you for being sooo raw and sharing your story.
how did it go`
?
Same thing with me. I’ve been on planes multiple times but they were with my family members. I never been on a plane by myself. My only fear is having a panic attack on a plane alone on the plane. Even though I know for a fact that I’m not scared of planes and I do want to travel solo a lot. But it’s the fear of a panic attack happening.
Exactly
My fear of flying took me to your video. Coincidentally, the take off is the scariest for me! Congrats! You got a sweet friend too 😊
Thank you for filming this. I have anxiety and never been on a plane but I’m preparing myself because next year is the year I conquer this fear! God willing! I also am claustrophobic so there’s that lol. I like seeing blogs like these to help me know what to expect and how everything looks. You are so chill! I imagine myself crying screaming but it’s all in my head
Sir, I applaud you and THANK YOU! My first flight is in a little over a week. Verrryyy nervous but seeing people get through it helps a lot.
How was your flight Allie?
I just came back from a trip to see friends - once you realize you gotta let go of control and let it happen, you're golden - I was even compelled to shoot and upload here a "full flight" video on one of my legs to my destination - it's over an hour long and documents pretty much they entire flight - also a really pretty sunrise on my way to Dallas that morning!!
Thanks for this - I would've loved to document my expressions as much as you did however I was trying not to panic the whole time plus I just sat there the entire time pretending I was asleep, it was pretty early LOL
Soooo happy for you!! You did awesome. Thank you for being brave AND for posting this. 🙏🏻
Thanks guys for such an amazing video! I will have my first flight in few days, with one stop. And I wished to feel calm like you. I hope I will be able to overcome my fear of flying🙏
Thanku🤩 I'm happy you're facing your fear. Enjoy & be safe🥳
Thank you very much!
Everyone needs a Steve :) You have a great friend. I love the part when he wakes before take-off to be awake with you! Great job!
This video helped me so much!!!!! I watched this at least 5 times before my trip. I had connecting flights and to tell you the truth I was scared before but I loved all my flights and can't wait to fly again. Thank you 👏🏽
Yay! That's amazing! I'm also here trying to conquer my take off anxiety. I used to love it! Idk what happened. Well I do. But its a long story. It's already helping to see that others have it. I thought I was weird. This video helped me already a lot. Just being able to experience it without being on the plane. I hope I can say the same as you after I do it. I'm so happy for you!
@@sarahbelle8791 Yes I also learned as much as I could about planes so I knew everything that was going to happen. I hope you conquer your fear 🔥
I am about to fly from Detroit to Tampa in a week. Thanks for the tips. I've avoid flying for 8 years because of my fear. Wish me luck.
I'm flying into Detroit next week ... I'm SO NERVOUS 😭 how was your flight ??...
I feel your pain.... i have always been a very anxious flier up to the point where i took 2 ferries and 3 different buses across Europe to get home. That trip ate 7 days from my 2 week holiday. I spent 7 days on buses and boats to get to my destination and back home. Safe to say i will never do that again. Now i just take 1 or 2 valerian calming tablets as i take my seat on the plane and the tablets start their work in about 20 min as the plane taxis on the runway and that is how i travel a few times per year by plane. Non prescription tablets that contain Passiflora or Valerian root do the job for me. Best of luck.... You can do this!!!
@@olgabrodescu i'm in the same situation, but i'm considering taking the train(s) across Europe.. i'm curious if you have ever done that or how the bus trip went? now i'm even nervous about taking the train, so i can't decide what to do :((
@@01Elvi never took trains across Europe so can't give any advice on that. When the pandemic hit last year i flew back to Ireland and was more worried about someone on the plane having Covid more than anything and i can't wait to get in a plane again and fly to new places.... i figured the only way to fight my fear is to face it head on and fly a few times per year... i refuse to let my fear control my life and the world has so many beautiful places i wish to see.... trust yourself, you can do it. If you need to travel accross Europe by train to realise how much faster the planes are, then travel by train. I can imagine, much more expensive and lots of connections... but you are able to beat your fear of flying... try ordering Sedi Stress online( non prescription calming tablets) best of luck! Hopefully you decide to fly and get to enjoy your trip! I live alongside my fear and it is always with me from the minute i book a flight to the minute i disembark the plane.... panic attacks during the days leading up to a flight are a constant struggle, but i find it that it helps me a bit to fly during daytime and book a seat beside the window as i can focus on the landscape outside and focus on the fluffy cotton candy like clouds.... my fear intensifies dramatically when i fly during the night and can't see anything out the window of the plane.... hopefully my advice helps you even if the tiniest bit✈✈✈
@@olgabrodescu thank you for responding!! yes the train option is definitely much slower. i did the flight, it was dark out which was for sure an added source of anxiety. and you’re right, just doing it is almost the only option of overcoming.. i will definitely check out those tablets!! but just knowing that others struggle with it too and are able to do it helps a lot and i will try to follow your advice, thank you so much!!
So proud of you! Never let your fears stop you from your dreams!
I’m so happy for you! I never would’ve thought you’d be anxious to fly after being stuck on a container ship for a week +. Proud of you!
I so felt your anxiety!! I also cried on take off and resented Steve for being able to sleep during it all!! BTW, bro, nice call saying the WAYFARER's PRAYER!! I always say it too!
I love your idea of allowing people to do into a plane and familiarizing themselves with it!
Thanks for sharing! I agree, multiple flights back-to-back help ease the nerves!
Your friend is a blessing. I’m terrified and have a flight from new York to Miami tm. Your video helped me a lot. Much love brother
Distraction is the word which will definitely help you while flying, believe me.
Thanks for sharing! Been fighting flight anxiety for a while. Prevents me from taking trips. :- / btw you have an amazing friend! Shalom 🧳
Oh man when you guys said your take off time was delayed, really felt for you just typical that happens to a person with bad flight anxiety
Don't be scared.... stay strong,calm,relax and positive 👊
Frick and Frack. The dynamic duo. You two make me laugh so much. Much love. Stay safe. Take care of Steve.
Love ya Rachel!
This was so fascinating to watch as someone who has learned a lot about what actually goes on inside the flight deck. If we ever end up on a flight together bud, I'd be more than happy to help you alleviate your fears Tal.
Thanks dude!
This was amazing! Thank you so much!❤️
I have an extreme fear where I'm pretty much having a panic attack throughout the flight. I tried Valium, which makes me forget the flight, but I still panic throughout, much to everyone's annoyance. Landing is fine, it's waiting for turbulence that gets me... any kind of movement, even the slightest move and it sets me off.
Anxiety is sh… I hated turbulence but after watching a documentary on how much these planes can take I soon realised it was pointless getting uptight. Even violent turbulence will be nowhere near the breaking point. It’s uncomfortable but from my experience won’t last very long.
Daryl, try seating towards the front of the aircraft, much less movement when encountering a bumpy ride. FYI I have only encountered severe turb once and it lasted perhaps less than 5 seconds. No one likes turb especially the pilots (not because they are afraid as no aircraft has ever crashed because of it) so rest assure they are always trying to find smoother air. BTW I am a retired capt.
@@jcheck6 For me, it's more the anticipation of any sort of movement
So true on the size of plane. I feel more comfortable in bigger aircraft compare to smaller ones. Unfortunately, most airlines now uses the smaller equipment to minimize costs and cut emissions.
It made me smile to see that you're fine after the first plane had taken off. Yey!! Congrats!
Thanks Pamela! It was a super happy moment as well
This really helps me
Hey clatt¡! Really cool to see you overcome one ur biggest fears and props to yalo for keeping u calm all the way! Hope u guys have an awesome adventure.
We are so excited to show it to you all!
Nice, very open and honest. From the outside you looks calm. Steve is a friend everyone needs. Supportive, not judging and staying relaxed. I am glad you solved this anxiety.
Personally i have fear of flying in the weeks before flying (especially for flying oversea, and when it's a nightflight over sea... that's double stress) , but it is gone when the plane is starting it's take-off.
Good on you to share with others who may have anxieties. Nice Seek Discomfort/Yes Theory shirt Steve :)
Thanks! Hoping this helps others!
Your a rockstar bro!!! Glad you were able to face those anxieties. I will share this video to all my friends with travel anxiety! Any tips for people who get scared of getting lost while traveling????❤️
Just keep traveling! I guess its the same as being scared at flying you just have to keep facing those fears!
So I’m only like 3:54 minutes into your video but already love the vibe and I just subbed you. I have a MAJOR fear of heights, especially planes. I used to not be scared as a kid but in recent years I started getting major flight anxiety. Even though the flight is only 42 or so minutes from California to Vegas, I get so scared. I don’t think I’ll die or the plane will crash, it’s just being up that high scares me deeply. Maybe I’ll look into getting that medicine in case I decide to fly to Vegas for my birthday (this July). I can vlog my experience like you are. I’d much rather drive, but hopefully I can get over my fear. Anyways love your video already.
How did it go?
So happy you did it. Steve is a great friend to you.
Feel for you buddy...I just have a lot of drinks and sleep all the way to the destination.
Terryy boy terry joy
I totally understand!! I suffer of anxiety and panic attacks and I’m planing to fly! It’s so hard to overcome this fear
yo hows it going?
I'm the same exact way. Im in panic mode before boarding, but it eases a little after take off.
Like i said before brooo ill fly wit you anywhere! Keep on winning man! Excited for this series. Terry in BCN awaits!
Same here! This terry excited as heck!
Much love man,I'm a Florida native as well man I'm moving to new York soon thanks for all the informative information you've given.😀
My pleasure pal!
Gotta play catch up on all the vlogs. I too have flight anxiety a bit. On our way back to Canada from the Philippines we literally had a lightning strike right next to our window 30mins from landing, almost pooped my pants lol. Cheers and safe travels!
What a sweet friend you have man. Best of luck to you!
I haven’t flown in 11 years because of a bad experience, September 1st I’m flying from Scotland to Orlando. I’m commenting pretty much at the start of your video but thanks for sharing it. It’s helping me so far.
So glad you had Steve with you!! That B Day dance hurt!
Hahaha
As of this typing, I am about to go on my first EVER flight tomorrow. Your video has helped me get an idea of what to expect. Very helpful in calming my nerves! I also will have a traveling companion so that does help. Hope you are having an awesome life my friend. ❤
how was it?
Ive got tens of thousands of airmiles under my belt. I'd be happy to go with anyone who's a nervous flyer!
Hey message me Patte! Could be cool to shoot a video together!
@@TheTravelingClatt
👍 Message sent via Facebook. 😁
@@socalgal714 did you ever travel together?
Aww man I have the same fear! I'm glad you got it.
Steve seems like one of those people you look back of decades later and think, “I’m glad I met this person”. He has a very captivating smile and personality.
He's the best man!
Just as you were pulling into your destination your friend should have had the pilot announce over the speaker: "welcome.. to Jurassic Park" for you. 😆
Man you guys are awesome thank you for doing this. I wish I could find a flying buddy to just.bust my chops the whole flight lol
Nice thing about the train though, on Amtrak you have a guaranteed connection so the train will not leave without you LOL, now if they can just do a Trans-Atlantic train I'd be great, haha
I feel like if I had you by my side making me laugh and relax it'd be much better! I'm flying in a couple of days
Steve Yalo is just everywhere. Hope to see you guys again in the PHILIPPINES when you come back.
Me too!
thank you for making this
Thank you you so much for this video I suffered so much anxiety I will definitely get a pill because I get it really bad 😊
Really cool to see your perspective of this trip. Especially what I missed when I was sleeping 😂
😂😂😂😂
I hear there's a video with yalo and terry.....or is yalo actually terry?
Love this video. I'm flying next month for Thanksgiving week. I get the same feelings you do. Pray for me ❤️
how did it go?
Way to go, my friend 👏.My turn in Sept 2023 is that my first flight is from Louisville Kentucky to Miami
Happy birthday steve enjoy everything
Hey man, I fly for the first time this coming Saturday and I'm so stressed and nervous, but honestly, watching you do this and giving the play-by-play put me in tears because you seemed so positive and confident that even in your anxiousness you knew you could do it and it really helped me. I feel like I can tackle this flight! I do have some xanax though haha.
How'd the flight go mate?
My first time flying was when I was 16 after that I haven’t flown since because of my bad anxiety. I’m 31 and I finally was able to fly again. 😅. I flew from Atlanta to Key west which was a small flight. I have a trip to Baja California which is a longer flight super nervous about this one. I do therapy, read and pray it really helps me. Thank you for this video.
Same exact fear. Once I'm up I'm good. Landing is even better!
Crushing your fears one plane ride at a time 💪🙌
Wouldn't it be great to be like Steve who can just sleep through a take off 😂
Happy Birthday to Steve, btw!
Haha it would be incredible!
Great video! Wow, 72 hours to get to Barcelona?! No mas, United airlines por favor. Happy Birthday, Steve!🎂🎉 He’s a wonderful traveling companion for you. He’s chill, laid back and always positive in the midst of adversity. I hope United airlines compensated you guys for the flight delay. And I thought Spirit airlines was no bueno. So glad you got over your anxiety, yay! Have a marvelous time in Barcelona, Tal & Steve! Always remember that God is your pilot, He won’t let you down
♥️♥️♥️
This is great, thanks
I agree about takeoff. I have tremendous anxiety and freak out. But it’s almost exclusively take off and first 15-20 min.
Shabot shalom my friend!
Greetings from Tampa!
I literally have the same exact problem thank god I’m not alone on this
how did it go?
have a flight havent flown in 19 years since i was 10 i remember feeling fine as a kid im abit nervous as an adult lol pray for me guys love you all!!!
I used to get anxiety but I went to Thailand and we fly all over Thailand I finally got over my fear of flying
This summer I'm flying to New York from New Orleans. I've always flown alone, but my flights were under an hour. This flight is making me nervous and I still have a month before I leave!!!
I’m flying out of Denver tomorrow, currently in the middle of a snowstorm, and I am shaking just watching this video. Trying to figure out how to naturally calm myself. I feel the dips during take off, turbulence, and landing, which lead to me screaming (I don’t like surprise drops, I fly with my hand over my mouth to cover incase a surprise dip hits, and I can try to catch my scream). And I cry from embarrassment and anxiety, which lead to panic attacks after the plane does something uncomfortable. So, I’ll have several panic attacks, anxiety throughout an entire plane ride, stress, tears, and everything. 🥺
Jenny You got this!
I PROMISE.
You'll get through it
How did it go?
Great video. How do you deal with turbulence though ?
I need a fear of man bun video. It's truly an anxiety.
1,334th view, 115th like and 105th comment. Glad you finally made it to Spain 🇪🇸. And especially glad you were successful in taming your anxiety. I’ve been off line during my move, everything went well. Greetings from Rochester MN home of Mayo Clinic. I’ve missed communicating with you!!!!!! 😃❤️
Great job Tal ! Good prayer always helps. Next time hope we will do it together !
Question I never been on a plane and I’m scared also. Do you think going to a doctor to check your heart rate to see if you should need anxiety medicine ? Do you have problem with ear popping noise or have you tried deep breathing methods?
That’s awesome dude! Glad to see you on this journey! And also, your videos were already good without travel, now they will jump to a whole new level with it!
Here it comes bbb
I get anxiety just watching these videos. My hands start getting clammy and my heart starts beating faster
I suffer with several anxiety disorders. I have a severe fear of flying. But with medication and therapy. I think my flight will go well tomorrow.
Five months later, how was your flight?
@@jessicacalloway2942 At first I cried because of the bumps on the way up. I thought the airplane was falling. I took a zanny after that, then felt way better. Watched Nathan for You to relax. I even looked out the window.
@@Izzy-cw6iv I have Atarax for my anxiety. I've already decided to just take one and a shot of whatevers cheapest at the bar and call it day lol I fly next month.
Omg the fist time I see someone having the exact same problem. It’s the take off ! I’m traveling in a couple of days and I’ve been nervous all week !
Ha ha, not watched it yet but having this guy fly with you would cure everything!!
That's the Steve Yalo express!
I can solve this issue as well. But Xanax from a buddy. Take one one hour before flight then the other 10 minutes before you board. Bam! You just teleported
I’m a terrified flyer. I have to use Xanax and ambien but it’s what gets me through. This video is great
You're helped me more than you know 🙏🏽😁
Oh, I have the same fear of flying and bathroom problems due to anxiety . Imodium on the day of flights helps TREMENDOUSLY!
im on propranolol for anxiety too. it's just blood pressure medication.
it does help me with flying tho!
